The remand of female passenger, Comfort Emmanson, in Kirikiri Correctional Centre for allegedly assaulting an Ibom Air cabin crew member and some security officers during a Uyo–Lagos flight on Sunday has triggered public outrage and accusations of selective justice.
Viral videos captured Emmanson slapping and kicking airline and airport officials, including a female air hostess, after she allegedly refused repeated instructions to switch off her phone before takeoff.
In one clip, she was seen being dragged off the aircraft by airline security operatives.
Ibom Air, in a statement, accused the passenger of nearly using a fire extinguisher from the aircraft to attack officials before being restrained.
media aidemedia aide , Paul Ibe, @Omolakimi, weighed in, saying, “The assault of Ibom Air crew and airport security officials on Sunday by Ms Comfort Emmanson is the reason why we need to be deliberate about nipping bad behaviour in the bud.
“There’s a temptation to hail the airport security officials for acting swiftly and removing the unruly passenger from the aircraft and the tarmac.
Terrible behavior
